Amir Khan tonight revealed his rift with Sky TV continues after the broadcaster rejected the opportunity to screen his unification bout with Zab Judah.

Amir Khan's light-welterweight unification showdown with Zab Judah will take place at the Mandalay Bay Center in Las Vegas.

LOS ANGELES - The negotiations have settled, the social media battles are raging and on Saturday, July 23, two of boxing's best will step into the ring to unify the 140-pound weight division when rising superstar and World Boxing Association (WBA) World Champion Amir "King" Khan faces Five-Time World Champion and current International Boxing Federation (IBF) Junior Welterweight World Titleholder Zab "Super" Judah at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nev. The fight will be a super lightweight world championship unification bout televised live on HBO's World Championship Boxing.

WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan of Bolton, England, faces off against IBF junior welterweight champion Zab Judah, from Las Vegas, during a press conference in Los Angeles to officially announce their HBO televised unification showdown, which is scheduled for July 23 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

WBA light-welterweight champion Amir Khan has once again decided to defend his title on satelitte pay-per-view channel PrimetimeTV after electing not to build bridges with Sky Box Office following their public spat in the build-up to the 24 year-old’s previous defence against Irishman Paul McCloskey.

Olympic Bronze medallist Tony Jeffries is hoping to get back in the ring next month after a disappointing eleven months has seen the Sunderland fighter fight just four minutes of ring action. The 26 year-old is unbeaten in nine contests since turning pro and is looking to start stepping up in class with a view to challenging for domestic titles.

Amir Khan's most recent opponent, Paul McCloskey, is giving veteran Zab Judah a good shot to upset the British star on July 23 in Las Vegas. Khan and Judah will put up their junior welterweight titles in a "winner takes all" unification bout. In a recent interview, British boxer Junior Witter tipped Judah to come out with his hand raised. McCloskey, like Witter, expects a very tough fight for Khan. Khan defeated McCloskey with a six round techincal decision in April.

ACROSS the pond in Atlantic City, one of our world champions is in action tonight.

Former two division champion Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero was in the running to face WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan on July 23 in Las Vegas. A few days ago, Khan finalized an agreement to face IBF champion Zab Judah. Guerrero has a reserved comeback date of August 6th on HBO. One possible opponent being mentioned is WBA interim-junior welterweight champion Marcos Maidana. BoxingScene.com spoke with Guerrero about his inability to secure Khan, and possibly facing Maidana in August.

WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan has reunited with strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza of the Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, California. Ariza was not in the corner of Khan (25-1, 17 knockouts) for last month's sixth-round, technical decision victory over Irish southpaw Paul McCloskey (22-1, 12 KOs). Until then, Ariza had worked alongside trainer Freddie Roach with Khan for six fights, having joined Khan following his first-round knockout loss to Breidis Prescott in September of 2008, after which Khan went 6-0, with four knockouts. A former Olympic silver medalist, Khan was trained by Michael Vale for McCloskey after having removed Ariza following December's unanimous decision victory over then-interim WBO junior welteweight belt-holder, Marcos Rene Maidana (30-2, 27 KOs).
